Complaint 84505 Details

Attempted Fraud through sale of 2001 Toyota Tacoma.
(Seller)
Hey,
Thank you for your interest in my Toyota Tacoma. I am selling it because I will soon go on a second tour in Afghanistan and I don't want it getting old in my garage. I will be gone for the next 12 months. The price is low because I need to sell it before we deploy, at the end of March. The vehicle is in great condition and runs great. It only has 82,000 miles on it, mostly highway miles. Maintenance records are available. Clear title in hand. You can see more pictures of the car here:

The car has never been wrecked or damaged, never smoked in, no dings/dents. I serviced it at the local dealer, new fluids, new oil & filters. They didn't detect any problems. If you decide to buy it I will be paying for the shipping charges. The total price is $3,500.00 with no other hidden taxes. Please email me back if you are interested in buying it.

Your truck looks very good and appears to be what I am looking for. I am located in Phoenix AZ. I will be paying cash. It looks very clean, appears to have a Tow Package, Tonneau Cover and is 4 wheel drive. Please send complete details. I am very interested. Must have clean clear title. What state is the ownership registered in? I would not be completely opposed to flying out and driving vehicle back depending upon where it is at, or describe to me how you want to handle this deal so I can better decide if I want to proceed

Hey,
I am in a currently stationed at Fort Indiantown Gap National Guard Training Center. We are getting ready for Afghanistan. We are in the final stage of our training and we are not allowed to use the phone during this period. This is supposed to keep us focused on our trainings. I am only allowed to check my email twice a day. I hope you can understand that we will have to stick to email for now.
The vehicle is here with me at the base but I’ve already made all the arrangements with DAS to pick it up from the base. DAS will also handle the title transfer for an extra $75.00. Being in the army has some advantages and one of them is the fact that I can ship it very cheap. I will pay for the shipping charges, as I’ve said in my first email. I think I can have it there in 5-7 business days.
The transaction will go through the eBay buyer protection program; I'm affiliated to their program and because they offer the highest rate of safety and reliability for online transactions. Using this service will give you a 3 days testing period after delivery. During that 3 days testing period I will not be getting any money.

eBay will act as a neutral party in our transaction. You will send a security deposit to eBay and as soon as it is confirmed I will start the shipping process. I am not involved in the payment process at all. Payment is just between you and eBay. I will get paid only after you receive the car and agree to its condition. If the car is not what you want, you will get a full refund from eBay, no questions asked and I will have to pay for the shipping back to me.

If you agree with these terms and you have the money ready, please email me your name and an address where you want the car delivered. I have to fill out a form on eBay and I need your details. Once I do it, eBay will email you all the details on this transaction and we can get the ball rolling.
Paul
